List of airline holding companies


This is a list of airline holding companies, that either own more than one airline or are the parent company of a single airline.
A company or firm in which the holding company owns a significant portion of voting shares, usually 20–50% or a "minority of share ownership", is known as an associate company. A company in which the holding company owns more than 50% voting shares or a "majority of share ownership" is known as a subsidiary. The holding company thus can also be referred to as the parent company at that stage.
To create the world's largest carrier, American Airlines and US Airways merged on, with the frequent flier programs combined on 7 January 2014, and the airline codeshare beginning February 2014 using the American flight number.
